What clients say about us!

An excellent birding trip with Epic.
I travelled alone at the beginning of March for 12 days birding with Pic and Moses as my guide. It was an amazing trip... read more where we were able to find almost all my favourite list checks. He is a super nice driver, observant and Soo keen when it comes to his work. We used both mid-range and Luxury lodges whose services and food was supper nice. Am still compiling my report but can't recommend this local agency and Moses as a guide.

I contacted several tour operators but Epic Uganda Vacation came ôut to be my partner for my long waited trip to see gorillas in Uganda Specifically in Bwind N... read more park since they already have another park with Gorillas. This is a trip that i have been dreaming about since my last exchanges with Jonathan who helped me to organise everything and he kept me informed about covid 19 guidelines in this beautiful country. I contacted Epic in early 2019 hoping to run this trip in 2020 but Coron virus disorganised all plans i had and this caused me to postpond the trip to 2022 .
 
Now this is how my trip went,when i arrived in Uganda at Entebbe international airport a guide was arleady waiting for me and drove me to the hotel where he briefed me through the tour program and also explained to me about all the border controls which i would not figre out by my self .James who was my chauffer not only that but he knew alot of different facts and good at spoting animals always happy,friendly and this made my trip great.
In Uganda we visted different beautful places including Murchson national park,Queen Elizabeth national park ,Kibale national park ,Ziwa rihno sanctuary and Bwindi national park for gorillas.the drives through these places was always beautiful and Uganda is the most beautiful country i have ever visted
I would ôfcourse recomend Epic Uganda to anyone looking to visiting Uganda.

Rwanda trip went exceptional. This is a trip that had kept pending in our minds, after corona reduced we decided to go gorilla trek to volcanoes in Rwanda and... read more Epic Uganda Vacation did a wonderful arrangement to get gorilla permits and a self drive vehicle. Also got connected to their guide in kenya to take us to masai mara.
Evelyn in office made sure our car is ready at the pick up point and kept following if we were comfortable.
I would obviously recommend anyone looking to visit this clean and wonderful country to use this trust worthy agency.

Moses drove me back to Kampala from Kabale after doing gorilla trekking in Bwindi NP. He was a reliable and save driver. Despite the long and exhausting drive he was... read more very friendly all the time and told me lot of interessting stories about Uganda and the tours the offer and even bought same snack for me on the road. He knew some shortcuts in Kampala which safed us a lot of time in the crazy traffic.

The price he charged for the ride was very competive. I definitely would recommend anyone to book their Uganda/Rwanda tour/safari with this company.

Epic Uganda Vacations did a great job of setting up our small group (5 people) 12 day birding and wildlife tour of Uganda. Lodging choices were excellent. Moses was there... read more at the airport to pick us up in Entebbe in our safari van, and showed us more of Uganda’s birds and wildlife than we had any right to expect. Hundreds of bird species, 9 primates (including chimps and gorillas), elephants, giraffes, antelopes of many kinds, hippos, rhinos, and both lion and leopard. This tour was an exceptional al value and a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Epic Uganda Vacations and I, personally, will be traveling with them again.
